Merry Christmas

well, Christmas came and now... it has gone! but what a great one it was!

my dad's parents are in town! Nanny and Ginky... they stay until the 28th

i got my wisdom teeth out the tuesday before Christmas and i was out for the count for a couple of days... not to mention i looked like a pear. now that my cheeks have gone back to normal im starting to bruse. but all is well.

i got a lot of nice things for Christmas! like a digital camera! so i will start to post more pictures!!! but not on this one because im not at my computer... well, im at a computer... but its not MY computer! you know what i mean!!

because of the holidays i havent been able to see Joey that often... and that makes me sad!

i guess thats all i have to say!

would you rather...

have Johnny Daman play for the Red Sox (the good guys)

or

have Johnny Daman play for the Yankees (aka the evil empire)

for you!

Joey, this is for you because it reminded me of you! i say is and i said to myself.... self, this reminds you of Joey!

they call me MIMI!

You're Mimi Marquez. You're 19, but you're old for

AHH ME! A BLOND!!! crazy i know! so they dyed it but it didnt really come out blond... it just really kinda lightend it. OH! we also made ricekrispy treats! and dyed then purple! that was fun! then joey came over and we watched "The Jerk" ...

AT ONE O' CLOCK IM THE FREAKING MORNING!!!!!!!!! so we went outside and the RA's were SO mad! apparently someone on the tenth floor sprayed the fire extinguisher .... bu the catch is, there WAS NO FIRE! so the was no more visitors for the rest of the weekend. that was all friday. oh yeah, we got som dry erase markers to write on our fridge! and its the best fridge EVER, so colorful, so if you come to our dorm, you HAVE to write on our fridge.. dont worry... it comes off.

KIERSTYN COMES HOME IN ABOUT A WEEK!!!!!!

im really sorry to all of you that fel shafted by me not blogging! i still love you!

would you rather...

be doing what you love and making no money

or

making a lot of money and doing something you hate!

mmm pie

Well, I haven’t really posted in a while… I’m sorry to inconvenience any of my faithful readers. I hope this blog will satisfy your lack of Jackie in the past few days!

Kierstyn came to visit last weekend! Of course we had crazy adventures and such! She got back last Thursday. She and her mom, Claudia, stopped by Starbucks to see me! I was there with Joey and when she pulled up I ran to the car and almost got hit… then, Kierstyn got stuck in he seatbelt and couldn’t get out of the car! Even though our visit was short, we knew we were going to have GLORIOUS adventures.

Friday, after class, I met up with Kierstyn at Taco Bell! We ate and then went back to her house to talk and catch up! After a while we got bored and decided to go ride bikes! Kierstyn’s pants got caught in the gears and ripped he pants then a few seconds later I did the same thing… twice. After we almost got hit by cars a few times we decided that riding bikes was a bad idea. So, then we just went back and watched TV for a while. We called Alex to come see us because we haven’t seen him in a long while! We miss that drunk kid! While we waited, we went out in the back yard to have lawn chair time! Lawn chair time is when Kierstyn and I ponder life. We’re at our smartest when we have lawn chair time! We were out there for about 4 hours before Alex got there! Alex got there at about 8 or 9 ish. And, of course he had brought himself some beer… an 18 pack. So, Alex joins us for lawn chair time! I was very impressed how well Alex did with lawn chair time… for a drunk guy! After a little while Kierstyn and I decided we wanted pie… so, we called the one person or two people we knew would bring us pie in the middle of the night… JASON EVERSULL and JAMES NASH!!! So, they get there at about 2AM (with pie!!!) and so, I didn’t have a fork for the pie so I start eating it with my hands! Then, Kierstyn says she wants some pie so I pass it over! So, Kierstyn takes a hand full of pie and finds a hair in it… one of mine must have fallen in the pie… so she doesn’t want to eat it to she feeds it to Jason. Then, she just keeps putting pie in his mouth… it looked like fun so I went over and put some on his face… Kierstyn then thought that were a good idea so, she starts to smear the pie all over his head… I don’t think that Jason liked that very much because he took the pie and started to chase us around the back yard with it. He caught me! Then, he caught Kierstyn! It really escalated quickly. After we cleaned up and got as much pie off of ourselves as we could… we played some pool! And, then Jason was going to pop Kierstyn’s and my back by walking on it… well, instead of walking… he did the Mexican Hat Dance… it hurt more than helped. Then, at around 4:30 or 5 in the morning Jason and James had to depart! And, by now Kierstyn and I were really tired and Alex had drunk all but one of his 18 beers… healthy? NO! So, he went to bed in the basement and Kierstyn and I went up to her room to go to bed!
The next morning Kierstyn and I had to go clean up the pie mess we made! Then, we woke up Alex and sent him on his way… we went to wal-mart and then to my dorm and then to meet up with my mom and Aleath for lunch at the Cheese Cake Factory! That night we went to see Just Like Heaven! Great movie! (side note… THE FREAKING NOTRE DAME GAME PISSSSSSSSSED ME OFF! THEY WERE FREAKIN CHEATED OUT OF THAT WIN!!) then, Monday we took our moms to lunch at Leonardo’s. we had a great waiter… he was really cute! AND! He sang to us! It was great! Though, he didn’t get our drink orders for about 5 min… but he was great none the less! Later that night we took our moms to the movies to see In Her Shoes! It was a really great movie! A chick flick! Then, we said our good byes and once again Kierstyn was gone! And I am sad! BUT! She comes home for thanksgiving and we will continue our crazy adventures!

Joey moved into his new apartment! It's coming along very nice! And I have to say that Lucas, his roommate, is the most abstract person I know! Joey’s play opens soon! The 29th and the 30th of October you should all go see it! It's at John Carroll High in the auditorium! Go see it!

I think thats all I have to say at the moment! this was kind of a long one!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Tribute 3

This is a tribute to all the other members of the animal house!
Benski, I already had a tribute to you in the previous tribute post.

First is the hater of all haters…. Chris Josof

Chris and I have the weirdest friendship EVER! First off, we hate each other. Second, we don’t hate each other. Then we do, then we don’t, then we do, then we don’t, then we do, then we don’t, then we do, then we don’t, then we do. Its just an on going thing between us. Its really very complicated. But none the less we are friends.

Second is the… well, David Berg

I met David at good ole JCCHS, in the choir. We went to Russia together… and well, we really just became good friends this year, because we ride together to church choir and all. I have to say, David is a really great guy! And, any girl would be lucky to have him!

Third and certainly not least is Josh Noland!

Josh is in the UAB choir and he lives downstairs. But recently is going move upstairs with Chris and David. Josh is a funny dude! I like him! He makes me laugh!
I didn’t have a picture of Josh, but if I did you all know I would post it!

I may not do the tribute next weekend, but then again… I may! You’ll just have to wait and see.

Would you rather…

Have loved and lost

Or

Never have loved at all

what the...?

I can't believe im JFK!

What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

well i gave in to the test too

What Classic Movie Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

this was on Joey's blog so i took the test!

whats up with the blogging world?

I have noticed that day by day, bloggers have gone missing! I think this is a BIG problem! There has been a lack of blogging among us! Is it not the cool thing to do? Well, if you don’t think so… then, you’re stupid! Blogging is a way to get out what you want to say without saying it, while putting it out for the whole world to see. Or at least find… if they want to. I like blogging. I couldn’t do it everyday because then I would run out of things to say. As you may or may not know… I don’t tell stories very well, so I try to limit myself. I also tend to ramble … as some of you may know from my comments on other blogs.

This was a comment I posted on Joey’s blog…
Great top ten! Different style for you! I like it! Well, it’s kinda hard to comment on blogs when you already know and have talked to the person about them. Hum but about you question I don’t know the name but was it the same dog that Kramer and the dog had the same symptoms? Cough? Or something? Was the dog a lab? Ok, ok, too many questions. I’ll try to guess.... uh john! If I ever have a lab of my own I think ill name it john! I don’t know why. It’s not really a dogs name but who is to decide if a name is a dogs name or not!? I like the name john for a dog! I also like the name Jake for a dog. A bigger dog though. Well, maybe a little dog could be a Jake or a john. Actually, I think I like that better. Well, either way. I want a dog named John. Or Jake. OR you know what!? I want a chuwawa and name it El. as in "the" (Spanish)

If that didn’t make you laugh from the stupidity I don’t know what will. Here is another comment I made on the Good Guy/ Bad Guy blog. Both of these blogs are linked on the side bar! You should check them out!

Hey guess what!! I should get a gift card because i’m the only one who freaking comments on this blog! So there! Congrats to Scott for his perfect week! Hey I have a question! Can you get a gift card if you get every game wrong!? Because from the way I’m playing right now... it’s seem likely. Or maybe I’m not even playing. Maybe I just suck. Or maybe there are little elves in the computer who change my picks every week to try to get me to lose! WELL, IT’S WORKING! Damn elves out to get me.

When I said elves I meant to say gnomes but I didn’t know how to spell it. That’s another problem I have! Can’t spell worth a flip! But oh well.

I have a question for all you faithful readers of my blog! What are your feelings on the whole pictures? Do you like them? Do you not like them? And what are your feelings on the would you rathers? Do you like the questions? Do you not? Give me your feed back!

LAUNDRY PARTY!

Well, Ashlee (my roommate) went home for the weekend and I am in the dorm all alone. Speaking of Ashlee, I think she thinks I’m crazy… well, my friends are crazy… well, Jason Eversull is crazy. See he and James came over the other night and were well, being themselves. I think they are just SOCIALY UNACCEPTABLE. It makes me laugh! Well anyway, they came over because it was story time. See, he and Elyse broke up and it was a bad situation. I feel for him. But anyway… the reason Ashlee probably thinks he is crazy is because he climbed into bed with her… it was kind of funny! We all laughed about it… friends laughing, having a good time. And, did I mention that Jason likes to beat me up whenever we are together? He’s like a second big brother

there was a picture here but i was debating if i should put it on or not... and it was on here but i took it off.

Well tomorrow is Saturday… you all know what that means! LAUNDRY PARTAY!!!! Matt, I hope your ready to get crazy! It’s going to be off the chain! (I never really knew what that meant but I said it! WHAT!? What are you going to do about it!?)

So, I went apartment hunting with Joey and Lucas! They are great! They crack me up! Well I think they found a place, Called Redmont Gardens. It’s an old place but it’s really nice. I hope it works out for them!

Update on the front door to Camp hall… its out to get me! I really think it is trying to kill me! It closed on me again this morning.

Would you rather…

have glow-sticks as fingers

OR

pom poms as hands

what a day!

Ok, of the record… my Wednesdays SUCK!

First, I was walking out of my dorm and at the entrance we have an automatic door. And, that door doesn’t always work properly. So I was walking out going to class minding my own business and the door was open so I just walked on through when all of a sudden the door starts to close… and its not one of those automatic doors that if you walk through and it starts to close it will sensor you and reopen… no! Its ghetto. It will close right on you! And its not a light door… the thing is DAMN HEAVY! So to make my long story short… the door slammed on me and it hurt.

Second, ok, the first day of English class the professor was 5 minutes late and so we asked him how long we had to wait until we could leave if he hadn’t shown up. He told us that 15 minutes we should leave… IF he hadn’t shown up… so, today it was on the 15 mark and we all get up to leave and it was the day our paper was due and so we put the paper on the podium and were walking out the door when he started to walk in! AHH I was so mad he made us stay EVEN when it was the time we were supposed to leave… HE WAS LATE!!! GAR!!!

Third, I was hungry ALL day! I had a yogurt for breakfast and then went to English at 8 till 9 then went to the library till 10 then went to U101 till 11 then went to fundamentals of music till 12 then went to get a Snickers bar then went to convocations at 12:20 till 1 then had concert choir from 1- 3 then called Joey and waited for Chamber singers to start at 3:30 and when that was over I went to Church choir to eat a real meal! AHHH only a yogurt and a Snickers… I thought my stomach was going to start eating its self!

Well that is my Wednesday. Yeah I know they suck!

Anyhoot! I always forget what I want to write when I write and then I remember… anyway I guess that’s all!

would you rather...

Be in a chamber of 100000 giant mosquitoes for a week

OR

Wear a poison ivy suit for a month

damn headache!

this is how i feel right now!

ok so this headache is freaking KILLING me! ive had it sence last night! and i still have it! and no drugs are helping! ive tried Aleve and ibuprofen... .and i still have a headache.

i came home after choir at around 4:45 and Ashlee was on her bed and she told me she was tired and i was like yeah me too and i fell onto my bed and was out like a yankee at a red sox game..... i got kinda tired of using "out like a light" so i made up my own and im hoping it'll be the new thing. anyway... i was out till about 7:30pm i woke up and checked my phone and i had 5 new voicemails and 8 missed calls! i felt SO popular! untill i found out that the 8 missed calls were from only 2 people... my mom... and joey! hehe but it still made me happy because i love them!

PETERSON!!! i keep telling Joey to tell you hey so if you read this... HEY! and i know you miss me as much or more than i miss you!

this picture was taken Christmas day (right-left) Ginky, Dad, Jason

I love Thursdays!... I get up have a nice bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and two… I said TWO bisects. Then I go to voice lessons for about thirty minutes and then I come home and do nothing till I have to go to choir! I LOVE IT! Anyhoo

This past weekend I went to Nashvagas with Joey to see Michael Berg! The drive up to see him was very fun!.. Funny… uh all of the above. Well we missed the exit to get to Michael’s apartment… and as I'm waving bye to Nashville (as we pass it) Michael is yelling at us to turn around… very funny… if only you folks could have been there to witness it… but you cant so I'm telling it to you through my blog and we all know how good I am at that! Well anyway… we went to the park and played with a really crappy Frisbee it was funny. And we just walked around the park! It was the BEST! Thank you Michael for having us over and we’ll have to do it again some time!

Well Tuesday was mine and Joey’s one month anniversary. I’m SO happy we found each other! And it’s scary how much we have in common! BUT any hoot

Well i guess that’s all I have for today…

my crazy family and me

my brother Jason wanted me to write about him in my blog and i thought i knew what i was going to say but i forgot what it was... but i will tell you a little story about the adventures of my brother and me.

well, when my brother and i were little, we used to make up games to keep ourselves occupied. they were clever games too. just to name a few... there was "run ball" this was where one of us had a football and had to run to the opposite side without getting tackled by the other person... that game got old for me fast because Jason would always win. we made up a lot of games inside the house because when we got home from school we were the only ones in the house. we would play a lot of tag. just running around hitting eachother... ah love... sometimes when Jason was getting tired of chasing me he would pick something up lie a ball or something and say, i give this ball the power of my it-ness and then pelt the thing at me. we also would put the adds fron the sunday paper in a circle in the living room and run around on them to see who would fall first. that was one of my favorite games. we used to play with my karaoke machine and pretend we were radio DJs and Jason would make movies and i would film and he would act and then he would yell at me because i wouldnt press pause when he was done. good times... my brother also called me Vaughn Hayes.. the baseball player... im not really sure why he called me that... i think it was because he knew it drove me crazy... but anyhoot

i have some funny stories about my sister Jillian as well...

when Jillian was little she used to drive me up the wall! especially when she was going to take a shower... ill explain... Jill would have me change the temperature in the shower because... well i dont know why... maybe it was because she was scared to get wet... in the... Hum... anyway... i would hear... JACKIE!!! IM COLLLD! and i would have to go in and change the temp for her... and then i would hear again... JACKIE!!! IM COOOOOLD! and i would yell back... JUST TURN THE KNOB TO THE LEFT AND IT WILL GET WARMER! and then she would yell back BUT IM COOOOLD! so thats my sister... i really liked scaring her too! one time she was in the shower and and our cat, Dixie, who is no longer with us... :(... was sitting on the dirty clothes hamper next to the shower looking in... then i came up and scared the cat and the cat went in the shower and came out the other side! and then you hear Jill scream! it was the funniest thing i have ever seen!

i had a picture of jill and me but for some strange reason it wont load.

i have a question for all of you blog readers out there...

would you rather...

be able to fly or have the ability to read people's minds?

catch you burgers on the flip side

humm... that shower didn't work... maybe i'm dry clean only

hello there folks! i'm a litte sad.

no one really comments on my blog. and that makes me sad.

anyhoo

is it just me or are elevators a very akward place..... like, i have to take an elevator to my floor in the dorm and you know you just stand there in a little box with complete strangers ... or strange people... however you want to look at it... i dont really like to make eye contact with elevator people because what if they are just phyco crazy and if you look at them then they might just follow you to your room and what happens after that... NOBODY KNOWS.... (side thought) i met a drunk guy on the elevator. he said to me, " i have an 8 AM class and im still drunk!" and then when he stumbled off the elevator he said, " It was nice talking to you!" and well if things wern't akward enough. you have to throw a drunk guy in the mix. well thoes are my elevator adventures.

well, i quit my job at the pool yesterday. i just couldnt work and do school and all so i quit. i am going to miss getting in trouble for being late. and not being able to understand my boss, and all the funny people who come to the pool... like the guy how walks against that lazy river 25 times... they lady who wears her swim cap on sideways... the guy whos speedo is so faded it almost looks invisable... the comb over guy... the seal lady (she kinda looks like a baby seal trying to learn how to swim)... and the rest of the gang but i have a new job now... im singing at Mountain Brook Baptist church for Mr. Berg... its So nice to sing with him! i love that man! but anyway thats all i have to say about that.

UAB is not a safe place to walk around. looking both ways means NOTHING! even when you have the white light guy you can still get hit by a car. OH and thoes unexpected cracks in the middle of the road that you may trip and fall in the middle of a cross walk.... cough! i did COUGH and the bugs will just fly right into your eyeballs... that happend to me too.

I went to Leonardo's for dinner last night with my mom and our friends Pat and Emily. it was very nice. we had a really great waiter i think i remember his name though. but he was really cute and very sweet. oh what was his name... oh well it'll come to me... hehe

well another one of my friends that i love has walked out of my heart and forgot to put part of it back. Zach Schultz is gone i think im going to cry! i love that guy! he's such a good friend! and he's going far in life. i can tell! but anyhoo, Zach i miss ya pal!

Kierstyn, hang in there! I love you!

well i think thats all i have to write about go nuts with your comments folks! maybe i'll do what Tasha does and not write another blog 'till i get a lot of comments.

the title of this blog has nothing to do with anything. i'm watching Step By Step and Cody said it because he thought Dana was allergic to him.

"it's so damn hot!.... milk was a bad choice"

today is National Flamingo day... i love flamingos.. they're my favorite...



I cant wait any longer for fall....

hints: the title of this blog. the quote is from the movie Anchorman for thoes of you who didnt know. but anyhoot.

i have been running all over this campus. i'll explain...

i tried to register for chamber singers but it wouldnt let me because im only supposed to take 14 hours and that would make 15. so i called my advisor and he told me to come to his office to get a letter asking the registrar to let me register and so then i had to go to the Hill University Center. when i got there, there was a really long line because it was the last day to add a class without it costing anything. so i wait in that line and then i went back to the dorm. but when i got to the dorm... my campus card wouldnt open the door for me. so the guy at the desk came to let me in and then asked who was coming to sign me in and i told him that i lived there. Then he sent me to the office to ask the lady why my card wouldnt let me in... he didnt believe i lived there. anyway, i took it to the lady and she told me that i had to take it to the hill center, to the campus card office....SO i walk to the hill center and there was a line there as well...... i was stating to feel like i was at Disney world....but anyway i asked the gal at the desk what to do and ahe tested my card with the swiper thing and said it was working but i had to call a number to see why it wouldnt open the door. so i called the number given... and the lady on the phone told me i had to go to the burleson building to get the card activated. so i went all the way over there and the lady took literaly 2 seconds and was done. she then said to me "it should work now" and i went back to the dorm and joey called me and we went back to his house and then we went to applebee's to meet up with all the Godspell kids. ( Lucas, Jessica, Adam, Kevin, Dana, Amber, Wardell, and some other cool kids... Jane Bailey, Will, Morgan) we were there for a wile and then i was getting tired so we left and joey took me back to the dorm and i went to bed.

this morning i had class at 8. it was kinda hard to get out of bed but i got over it. i got out 30 min early from my UNIV 101 and Fund. Music class. that was nice.

well i had a nice birthday! i had music orientation and then i went to my party and we had a BLAST! but anyway. im 19 now! yay!

tonight is going to be the last time i see a lot of my friends... well Kierstyn is the only important one that i really care about! im going to miss her SO much! she's the only one who knows what im thinking and knows how to get me to talk about things and well im going to miss handing out with her and going to the pool and going shopping and making virgin margaritas and well i have to stop typing before i start to cry!

Catch you burgers on the flip side

im moved in!

Well folks, i've moved in to my dorm. I’m down here in camp hall (that’s right behind the rec center) life is good. My roommate is very nice. Her name is Ashlee from Foley. Our dorm is small… go figure! But it’s really nice... except for the smell and the dead bugs in the sink. Well the last couple of days have been not so eventful. But whatever! Let’s see…

I worked this week. But we closed the pool a lot because of storms. (Yes we close an indoor pool because of storms… not rain but thunder ad lightning) anyhoot… that job is so boring it isn’t even funny. The other day I was on stand for about an hour and then the other six I was playing solitaire or surfing the net. Yep, that’s a UAB job for ya. I don’t know how UAB makes money when they pay people to sit and so literally NOTHING! But I don’t really care because im one of those people who get paid to do nothing so it works for me. But some people at the pool are really rude to the lifeguards. Which I don’t think is a very good idea because what if you drown? That lifeguard that you were just rude to and talked to with no respect may save you… but then again… may not. If I were a patron I would be nice to the people who were watching over me, making sure I safe. BUT! That’s just me.

So recap of my life as of now…

I no longer live in Meadow Brook, I still have the most boring job ever, I’m dating someone now, and I’m loving every minute of it!

This blog was typed Saturday 13, 2005 on a word document because Jackie’s internet was not up and running yet.

well... its been two days since i wrote this blog so i guess i will tell you what i have done in the past two days. well as you know i moved in on saturday. that night i went to Joeys house and watched snatch... it was a good movie, funny. then sunday i had bonding time with my roommate... we watched the Brat Camp marathon. then i went to church. after church my parents, Joey and I all went to dinner at a place in brookwood. (i dont really know the name of the place and if i did i wouldn't be able to spell it anyway.) dinner was really nice! after dinner Joey and i went over to Peterson's house and i got to see all the godspell people that i missed so much! then i came home (to the dorm) and tried to work on my internet but was just too tired and went to bed. so this morning i finally got the internet working.

the shot from hell

when i last left you i was going to play poker... that didnt really work out for me... i went all in and lost. BUT oh well.... i spent the night at Kierstyn's and the next morning Jason E. called from Chic-fil-a asking where i was... i usually i go to mass wednesday mornings at 6:20. but i didnt and he called and spoke hateful words and woke me and Kierstyn up. then i went to work and was SO bored. but thats my work for ya. that night i watched Get Shorty. it was a good movie... i thought it was funny...

thursday i went to lunch with my mom and i was going downtown to get a shot for school... so my mom and i go to the building taht we were told to go to and they told us that they dont give the shot there and that we should go to my regular doctor. so we go to the car... my mom parked in a tow away zone and i told her but she was like we're only going in for a second so we get to the car and there is a sticker on her window and a boot on her tire... so the guy who put it on there was sitting in his car waiting for us to come back out so she had to pay $35 to get the boot off. then we went to get some lunch... after she droped me off at my car i went to best buy to get a mitch hedberg cd but i got a Kelly Clarkson cd and Mean Girls and Saving Silverman... so i still have to get mitch... but anyway im in the check out line and Chris Josof comes up behind me... it was weird to see him... i havent seen him in a few weeks and it was just weird i dont know why... but anyway so then i go home and upload kelly on my ipod... then i went to meet Jane Bailey and Jessica clark at Leonardo's to see Joey... he works there... but i get there and Jane is there and we go in to wait for Jessica and we were there for about 30 min. when Jessica called and told us she was leaving her house... so we wait for her... she gets there and we order and then we see Lucas and Morgan walking up and yeah that was weird... but whatever... so we stay there talking and such for like 3 hours! we were there till they closed and Jessica and Morgan sang a song and then Joey sang a song... haha...so then Jessica and i weere going to see a movie and then joey was off so we asked him to go with us and we get to the summit and jessica gets a call from her friend who was going to hang out with her that night came to pick her up so Joey and I went to see Mr & Mrs Smith... great movie, very funny... so then ofter the movie Joey drives me back to my car at Leonardo's and i went home and went to bed.

this morning i went to the doctor to get that shot that i didnt get yesterday... so my mom and i go and i get the shot... the nurse didnt put the band-aid in the right spot.. i just thought that was really funny. so we're leaving the doctor and we get in the elevator and i starts to move down when it gets stuck. so to scare my mom i start shaking the elevator and so she starts yelling.... it was really quite funny... so were in there for about 10 or 15 min. till we start moving again.. and my mom told me that the shot was cursed. so that is the story of the shot from hell with a few side notes.

vaccine...$95
fee for illegal parking...$35
jummping up and down in a stuck elevator to scare the crap out of your mom... priceless!

waiter, there are snails on her plate

well Godspell is over and im sad. Strike was sad. i helped Alan with the sound stuff as we danced to krunk music and quoted Mitch Hedberg. then when i was dont with that and had nothing to do...Jessica and i were the supervisers... well at least we pretended to be. we stole lucas and kaylen's elevator and when we got to our floor, Joey was there and he scared the living daylights out of us... so now i have to come up with a plan to get him back! muah hahaha. so after strike we brought everything to JCCHS tears were shed and then we went to have a party in bruno's. not really we just had to get some things before going to petersons house. we watched army of darkness. a real trippy movie. i dont think i really got it. im not even sure i got the point.

yesterday was an interesting day. i got to work at about 11:30. (they took me off the morning shift...5:30-11:30...because i was late twice and i got written up... and 3-5 strikes and your out) so i get there and my boss is all hyper. he's the kind of boss who makes you do things to make himself look busy. so he tells me i need to scrub the hot tub... im a poet and didnt even realize it. but anywhat after that... im on stand contemplating life... when you gaurd a four foot pool that only college kids swim in then you get kinda bored... so im sitting there and the fire alarm goes off and so i get everyone out of the pool and on to the sidewalk and there is a sight for ya... old men in speedo's on the side of Univ. Blv. so anyway... we're out there for about 20 min. or so when we find out that it was just dust from construction. so we get everyone back inside and then that was about as exciting as it gets at work. lets see.... after work i went to OLS to practice singing for the Charismatic conference that will be held friday and saturday. so i was there till about 8ish and then i went home. i was going to watch The Jerk with my parents but they both bailed on me and so i watched it by myself. it was the first time i had ever seen it. it was really funny. after the movie i wen to go check my facebook and friendster and such. rebecca is the only one to write a testamonial on my friendster. but anyway i got on AIM... something i rarely do and Joey sent me an IM and we talked till about 3:30am for about 4 hours! i dont think i have ever talked to someone that long online before. so anywho... after that i went to bed.

this morning i got a call from Jason Eversull at about 6 and he was just talking not realizing i wasnt going to remember what he said in 20 min. so... i think he called twice. and then i got a call from kierstyn at about 11:30 telling me to get my butt out of bed so we could go to the pool. so i did what i was told and we went to the pool. then we went back to her house and i made hot dogs and she made cookies. then we watched soap operas. Kierstyn had to be at work at five so she droped me off and she went to work and now im writting a blog.

tonight its poker night at kierstyn's and so thats where i will be tonight.... lots of poker, pretzels, and of course... sunkist... my downfall.

i guess thats all i have to say to you people...

catch you burgers on the flipside.

well i have news... i dont like to say good news or bad news because some people take news differently. so here is my news. one of my really good friends has been trying to get ahold of me but he just calls at really bad times and so i called him back to see what he wanted and he told me that he was moving to Texas on the 8th of August. well i was shocked. he said he was going to take a year off of school and go work for his uncle. thats cool, good for him. and so i told him that he cant leave untill he sees me. Then he just started yelling at me saying, THATS NOT UP TO ME! IM NOT CALLING YOU BECAUSE YOU DONT ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE! well this made me very sad because i cant help that when he calls me im busy. like the other day he called right in the middle of Godspell and after the show i saw that i had a missed call. and so i call back the next day because it was late. so hes leaving and hes mad at me and i sad because i cant help it.

lets see...

wednesday... i got up and i went to work. then i went to lunch con mi madre... thats spanish for with my mother... we went to Jim n' Nicks in five points. i love going to lunch with my mom because when its just the two of us we get to talk about everything. we dont always get to do that when someone else is with us. after lunch i went home and took a nap... i miss nap time in kindergarden when they had all the awards like best in math, best in sharing, best in spelling, best in helping. well i got the best rester. thats right. and i was darn good at it to you give me a mat and i'll sleep till its snack time... after my nap i took a shower and got ready for Godspell. everyone did a fantastic job! after the show we all went to Applebee's. Jane Bailey was there! i missed her so much! and so then i took Adam to his friends house and then went home. my brother called me that night at about 1:30 telling me that i locked him out. well he doesnt live with us anymore and how am i supposed to know when he is going to be coming home. so i roll out of bed and let him in.

thursday... i went to lunch with a good friend that i havent seen in FOREVER! we went to wings. it was very good but our waiter was really weird he asked us if we had done the check yet and my friend was like no not yet and the waiter just stood there and waited for him to put the money in. and i think i have bad luck with waiters because at applebees i couldn't get the waitress' attention to get me more water. and at wings it was the same deal. i'd ask him for some more tea and it never came... THE TEA NEVER CAME! well anyway after lunch we just went and sat on a bench and talked for about and hour. then after that i went home and did laundry. then i went to Godspell and after the show we went to applebees. then i went home.

last night i had te weirdest dream EVER! it started out that i was at work but it didnt look like my work. and i was just walking around when it turned into the beach and my mom and the Ruths were there and ashley ruth was going to throw a vollyball to my brother when she got distracted and started yelling at someone and so i picked it up and hit it to my brother. then it started to rain and the beach turned into this sort of lunch room deal and it was where people waited to go see Godspell and Dr. and Mrs. Rosko came in and Tim was with them and he was smoking. his parents asked him when he started smoking and he was just like i've always smoked. it was just weird.

so today im going to be doing laundry again. and well thats about it... no my mom will call me to tell me something i dont need to know or ask me something because she is working so hard at her job. love you mom!

i must tell you to check out my link that says some of chris's pictures. there is one of meee!

Word to your Mother oh wait thats your Brother

vanilla ice is more gangsta than the gangstaist gangsta. well i guess i wouldnt take it that far but he is pretty gangsta.

well let me just tell you about my life at this point.

Friday, july 22

Godspell opened and it was a lovely show and everyone did so well. i only got yelled at once. (i'm just good like that) and after the show we all went to Joey's house for a cast party. it was very nice, but sadly i had to leave early. and im sorry about that but i had fun none the less. i got SOO lost trying to get out of the neighborhood and i tried to call joey but he didnt answer. so i tried to call Francesca. and she didnt answer and so matt and i had to try to find our way out and so after about 20 min. we found the way out.

Saturday, july 23

i didnt do much saturday. i sang at Jennifer Leon's wedding. it was soo lovely! she was beautiful. and after the wedding i went to see wedding crashers. it was a funny movie! vince vaughn is one of my favorite actors. then i spent the night with Kierstyn

Sunday, july 24

Kierstyn and i got up to go to mass and St. Mark's. after mass i went home and to change and then i went to do the Godspell thing. (i learned that i missed my Godspell friends while we were apart.) everyone did a fantastic job and after the show lucas, wardell and i went to get something to eat and then we went to peterson's house and watched Exorcist: beginning (i dont do very well with scary movies and even though they kept telling me that it wasnt scary they just didnt understand that i could still get scared.) Joey was supposed to let me know when the scary parts were coming but he let me down. i think i even screamed at one point. but it was i good movie.

Monday, july 25

i got up and went to work at 11:30 and then got off at 5:30 and my mom came by to get me (i still didnt have my car) mom took me to get my car and then i went home and Kierstyn called to tell me that Chris Josof was having a birthday party for Alex Dent so Kierstyn and i went. and there were alot of perole there that i havent seen all summer! like... Mark joseph, Colby, Dino, Lee, Louie, Jenny, ashley noa, mikael saway, murph, sketch (michael heitz), and greg so that was good to see all of them and i was sad to leave all of them but i had to go early because i had to get up for work the next morning. so i got home and set the alarm and all and then i heard it going off after i got upstairs and i thought oh its jason and then it just started going crazy and i went downstairs and jason was in the driveway with a uhaul and he was like jackie go put shoes on and help me unload. and i was like jason i have to go to bed! i have to get up early and he was like well it will only tak a few min. so i do and like and hour later i was like JASON!! I HAVE TO GO TO BED! so i went to bed

Tuesday, july 26

well i definitely slept through my alarm clock and was late to work. so i got written up again. and after work i Kierstyn and i took our moms to lunch at the cheesecake factory. it was very good! and now im typing to you fine people .

so that is my story and im stickin' to it.

catch you burgers on the flip side!

well i dont normaly write two blogs in a row but i feel compeled to do so.

my day yesterday was a very....
well no words could describe... after i wrote my blog yesterday i went to finish reading my book (The Godfather) it was one of the best books i have ever read. i had to go into work at 11:30 and i was going to leave an hour early so i could stop and get some lunch and parking is horribal at UAB at that time of day...so i get in my car and start it up and put it in reverse and then...

it shuts off.

thats right wont start.

so i try to call my mom cant get ahold of her.

i then called my moms friend and co-worker casey (they have offices right next to each other.) i got ahold of casey to ask her if she has seen my mom but it was a no. but she said she'd tell her to call me when she got in.

i then try to call the Ruths, our neighbors. no answer.

so my last chance. my brother. i call him up... i think i woke him up. i asked him if he was working today and he said no and i told him that my car died and he came over to see what the problem was... but couldnt figure it out. so he was like take my car because i dont want you to be late. so i drive him back to the Ruths house (he lives in their basement) and i go to work.

work was the same ole boring work it always is.

after work i was walking to my car when i got a message from my mom saying call me when you get off work. i do so. and my mom says HER car died and i need to come pick her up.

at this point in the day its 5:40 and i have to be at Godspell rehersal at 6. so i go and my mom said she would be waiting for me in the front of her building. go and shes not there yet and i wait 10 min. till she comes out. so then i i have ten min. to get to rehersal and so i try to book it overe there. and i do and my mom takes the car home.

at rehersal leah asked me to fill in for follow spot because the guy who was doing it quit. so im all excited because thats an important job and they asked me to do it. so anywho i get up there and peterson sends up jpoole to do follow spot and leah was like ive got jackie up there and peterson was like jackie wont be here friday and saturday. then j poole was like i wont bee here for the second week. so we came up with.. we will tag team it. it was the most excited i have ever been...at rehersal.
well i guess thats all i have to say about that.

joey said that i have found my catch phrase so...

catch you burgers on the flip side.

well....
IM SO FREAKING TIRED!
ive been going 90 to nothing... i dont really know what that means, but my dad always says it.
this is the life i have chosen though so i cant really complain. last night i went to see Charlie and the chocolate factory and i have to say! JOHNNY DEPP IS THE MAN! and im going to marry him. he just doesnt know it yet. but not really. but really. anyway.

i got written up at work yesterday because i was late. i was supposed to be there at around 5:15, 5:20 am or something like that. and i definatly woke up at 5:25 am and so im rushing in i didnt even put on my swim suit. its a wonder i even found my work shirt. but anyway im driving in and i get a call from my supervisor and she was like uh Jackie? are you coming into work today? and i told her i over slept and i was on my way. so i get there and the other girl i was supposed to work with was not there so my supervisor was on the stand.

so later that day..

i went to the outlet mall with Kierstyn and her mom and i get a call from Jason Eversull (head lifeguard) and he was like "uh yeah Don (our boss) made me come in and sign off on all your write ups. and im supposed to yell at you so..AHHH... ill see you at mass tomorrow. bye." and so thats all i have to say about that.

so laterer that day ...

i went to rehersal and sat backstage and played poker. and i got to see joey! yay for joey. anyway.

i got up for mass this morning and then went to chic-fil-a (its a wednesday thing)
now im just waiting to go to work at 11:30 and then to rehersal.

catch you burgers on the flip side.

well this is the only time i have right now to write you my faithfull fans!

i have barely any time to breathe. today i got up at 4:30 am. and go to work and was there till about 11:45 so i was REALLY hungry because i have had anything to eat since the morning before. (i got up (monday) and had a pop tart and then went to work and then went straight to rehersal at 6 till 9 and came home and went to bed and never ate anything else.) so i was really hungry and meet up with chris josof for lunch and then went to walk around the mall for a while and then i went to pick up my keys at the hallmark store from kierstyn because i left them in her car. and then i went to take a shower and then went to rehersal from 6-9. and now im sitting here telling you folks what has happend today.

tomorrow i will get up at 5 am and go to mass at St. Peters. then to breakfast at Chic-fil-a and then to chris's house to wake him up so we can go to orientation. i have orientation tomorrow thursday and friday.

Godspell and work is still my life.

im sad because my close friends arent so close anymore because i have no time for them.

i miss all my russia friends! Kate, Kulback, Andy, Michael, Tamby, Stiffy

i miss my love Natasha

i miss my old pool (even all the little brats who drove me crazy) (and the little girl who would give me popcorn)

i miss going out with my friends. (mamma sieta wont let me go out because she says she doesnt see me enough)

well i move in to my dorm in about a month. i dont know who im living with which kind of scares me. but not really. but really.

but right now the times are hard. i have no time for any thing and when i do have time mamma doesnt want me out because she wants me home. and so i feel as if im an ant on an ant hill and life is a mean kid with a magnifying glass.

no comment... well maybe i do have to say a small something

Well...
not much has been happening. Work and Godspell is my life. And well im not too happy about that. Work is the same. BORING as all get-up. And well Godspell is a whole other story. Well first of all... I don't do anything but sit on my butt and try to learn every girls part. Second, im getting yelled at for having too many conflicts. Its not my fault I have to work to earn money for food and clothes. And its not my fault that I have to go get orientated with my new college....

but I guess it is my fault im going to see Kenny Chesney. but the tickets were a gift for graduation. im not going to turn them down. plus I knew about the concert before the play.

but yeah... so im kinda wishing i just did tech instead of swing because i just dont have the time. the lady said "Please understand that while we appreciate that everyone is busy in their own lives, a commitment has been made to the show. Any additional conflicts will result in dismissal from the show. "

but what can ya do?

on a happier note...

we are getting a new dog! well its not really new. his name is mac. and he is a black lab. and he is 7 years old. and he used to live with my uncle in Boston but they cant keep him anymore so we are taking him. and im so excited! and he is coming at 10 tonight!

after rehersal i think im going to a cookout at james' house. if he is still having it.

and i have to give a shout out to my girl Francesca! and my boy Joey! and my silly little pea! thanks for being the ONLY ones to comment on my blogs. love ya guys!

not much has been going on

the title could just be my whole blog. but im going to write more than that.

i finally gave Jason eversull his birthday gift! i got him the second season of dukes of hazard. because James got him the first season. so sometime soon we are going to have a dukes of hazard marathon.

happy fathers day to all you fathers out there!

we played football at youth group. fathers vs. youth. the finnal score was 2/2. the first time EVER that we tied the dads. they usualy kick out butts. but not this year. we didnt let them get away with it.

Francesca, you crack me up. i just have to say that. your one of my favorites!

last night after football, Chris Maddox came over. we sat out on the beach (my back yard has pea gravel and we call it the beach) we have a fire pitt out there and so we just sat out by the fire and cought up with eachother. then jason and james came over and we all just sat out by the fire. jason had a great idea of making smores. but i didnt have any of the makings so we went to bruno's and got all the stuff. so we sat out on the beach by the fire and made smores. well, when we were done with that we went to play basketball. we played hotshot (knock out) whatever you call it. ive heard it call so many things. but anyway its the game where you have 2 balls and the first person shoots from the free throw line and the person behind them tries to make it before them to get them out. well we played that till about 1:30 AM. and it was soooooo much fun! one time i was going up for a shot and chris just got his ball and was turning around to give it to the next person and didnt see me and elbowed me right in the face. needless to say, i was on the ground. oh! and there was this HUGE bug. it was like the godzilla of roaches and i stomped it and it was the NASTIEST thing EVER! i never knew bugs could have so much guts! it was soooo grose! and well that was my night.

tonight im going to a thing for Godspell. that starts this week. so i will be busy with that for the next month or so.

random thoughts about my week

well my addiction is the facebook... not really but sometimes i think it is.

life is good. im working... still.
yesterday after work, one of my co-workers(ben) and i went up to the climbing wall and used it for its purpose... it was really had. see, it was my first time to climb anything. but fun.

last night i went to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith. it was the second time i saw it and it was so good.

hummmm lets see... i have to work at the hallmark store tonight. that really sucks because i hate that job and they dont know what they are doing over there. and all they like to do is make Jackie mad!

this morning i went to mass. then i came home.

Jason took Jill and me to his apartment in T- town. that was fun... i guess

i work at the pool thursday, friday, and saturday if anyone wold like to come see me.

i remember last year around this time i was really getting excited about the russia, finland, and estonia trip... i miss all my cool kids from that trip... i kept a journal while on that trip and one of these days i will post it. but you guys have to remind me or elks ill forget.

recap

so Schultz and i are in a fight.

last night i went with Kierstyn to the mall and we met up with Chris Maddox and then we went to pick up Jill at youth group. After that we went to the movies with Alex and Andy Dent. we went to see Kicking and Screaming. i was very dissaponted because i didn't think it was all that funny. but oh well.

today im going to take Jill to see Madagascar. im very excited about this because i have heard great things!

First day

Well, today was my first day of work at the UAB rec center. Yeah I had to get up at 4:30. And yeah I had to work till 3. But all in all it was fun. im so damn tired though! The next time I work is Monday 11:30-5:30 so if you are a student at UAB then come down and swim!

Last night I went bowling with Kierstyn, Schultz, Murph, Alex, Saway, Ben and some others. We went out for Ben's last night in the US of A! I knew I was only going to be able to bowl only one game because I had to be home early for work the next morning and they all wanted to bowl three games... And it was one dollar bowling night... I only had a 20... So I gave it to Schultz for him to give me change and he gave me $15 back and I was like...I'm only bowling one game give me $19 back... And he said that he didn't have that change... So he was Just like oh well you just have to pay $5...(they had no more shoes so that wasn't the problem) I was sooo mad! And of course I only ended up playing one game like I said... Like I was going to pay for but NOOOO I had to pay for FIVE games. That I didn't even get to pay. So lets just say that Schultz and I are in a fight!

IM GRADUATED!!!

Well, I did it!
I'm graduated. It was the best graduation anyone could ever ask for. The actual graduation was kind of boring but after was fun. My family (Nannie Clagg, Mom, Dad, Jason, Jill, Casey, Aleath, Jim, Nanny and Ginky Roche, uncle Buzzy, and Suzanne) took me to dinner at Mauby's. It was so much fun. My mom told stories and my dad told stories and we all just laughed. And after dinner we all walk outside and my dad hands me this little box and said "I wanted to give you this inside but I forgot." so im like ok. (I thought it was going to be jewelry because my mom said it would match my earrings. So I open it and its a key. And at this time im a little confused and then my dad said that they got me a car! And I turn around and there is a car! My reaction was... ARE YOU SHITIN' ME! And I immediately regret saying that because my grandparents were there but they thought it was funny. But Jason and I drove home and then we visited with the family for a little and then I went to pick up Kierstyn and we met up with Schultz and his cousin's and Ben and we all went to Emily's house we were there for a while and then Kierstyn and I went home. Today I'm just hangin' out trying to get over the shock that my parents bought me a car!

Silly me

The reason I titled my last one "I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK" was be cause its how i feel. only I WANT MY HOUSE BACK! because my crazy nannie has been here for so freaking long i think im actualy loosing my mind. so thats why the title was what it was.

"I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK"

That quote is from Mean Girls. For any of you who didn't know that.

Kierstyn, sorry for spelling your name wrong for the last... Well all the blogs.

well today I had Mass. I sang and it was all good. But the most fun I had was this morning when me, Murph, Kierstyn, Alex Dent, Schultz, C T, and Ben all went paint balling. It was sooo much fun. I had never been and neither has Kierstyn so we were a little.... Well we were scared out of out wits. But we played out first game and it wasn't that bad. I was the last remaining player on the orange team! Then in our second game Kierstyn got out but when she stood up to walk off the Field she got drilled like five more times. Because she didn't hold up he gun to show that she was hit. Then I got shot in the arm by this really fat old guy who was like ten feet away. Our third game we got this pro on our team and he killed everyone and I didn't get hit. But our fourth game I got hit and as im walking off, I get drilled in the leg. As im walking off saying "DON'T SHOOT IM OUT!" but then our last game I got shot in the arm but the ref didn't see me and so I kept playing but then I got shot in the knee. so after that we all went to wendy's and then I went home to work on my ipod mini. and then we went to the mass and then came home and Uncle Buzzy and his wife Suzanne came over and we talk for a bit.

Lets see..... Yesterday was Friday.... I went to dinner at Leonardo's and Joey was there. By the way Joey, my mom noticed your hair cut. She said that it looked very nice. Well anyway dinner was very good. After dinner I went to Chris Josof, Mark Joseph, Colby Watkins, and Holly Tanory's Graduation party with Kierstyn. It was fun you know I danced my feet off...But not well... After that we went over to Schultz's house to see what they were doing and of course they were all GLUED to the TV because of Halo 2. It was Schultz, his cousin, Ben, Murph, Alex and Andy Dent, and Saway. Of we left there and went to see what Michael Heitz was up to and it was him and his friend and Tiffany, and Jennifer Shores watching Elf so we left there and I went home and that was my night.

TOMORROW IS GRADUATION!!!

The past and the future

Well....... I always start these things off with "well" but anyway!

well Thursday was a fun day sorta... It was good for the most part. I had a very relaxing day at the spa! It was awesome! I got my feet done and my nails did! It felt sooo good! And after that my mom, my Nannie, and I all went shopping. And then we came home and our Chinese friend Mike came over for dinner and then we went to target to get a fire pit for our back yard and then we came home and sat by the fire till about 10:30 pm. Now I bet you are wondering where the bad part comes in... Well that night I got a call from this guy that I have been talking to but we couldn't date till after my graduation... So last night I called him to tell him that it was 3 days till my graduation and he said that he has a girlfriend and well lets just say that I was a little hurt.

but today I got up and went down to the UAB rec center and got a job as a lifeguard and then my mom and I went to breakfast at the anchorage... ummm bacon! Well then we went shopping and now we are home trying to get ready for Nanny and Ginky to come. We will go to Dinner tonight at Leonardo's and then tomorrow is mass and then Sunday is graduation. I cant believe it is already here!

Another Adventure in Jackie Land

Well this adventure begins with sitting on the couch. -exciting! I know!- as im sitting on the couch watching the season finale of CSI (we taped it) but anyway, I was watching it and all of a sudden it cut to Lost so I had to read about the episode online. and that made me sad. well after that Casey, Aleath, and Ashley came over for hamburgers and then we watched American Idol so that was that. After American Idol I called Kirstyn and Schultz called me and told us to meet him, Mikael Saway, Brian Murphy, Samantha, Jessica, Helen, and Alex Dent at Arby's. So I go to pick up Kirstyn and we are off to Arby's. We get half way there when Schultz calls me and tells me to turn around and go to Samantha's house. So I turn around and go back to Greystone but Kirstyn and I don't want to be the first ones there so we drive all over Greystone. (and let me tell you! Now that I have taken on greystone in the dark, I feel as if I can take on the WORLD!!!! Not really, but anyway) so we get to Samantha's and Schultz and everyone else pull up right behind us and we go in and we play Mafia again but it wasn't that fun because we kept ending the game after one round because people were cheating. So we decide to go outside and play hide n' go seek but that didn't work out and so we all got in the back of Schultz's truck and drove to the little park in Greystone and played there for all of 10 min. When I saw Schultz and Saway moving slowly to the truck and getting in and driving off so Samantha and I ran to the truck and jumped in and we left everyone! MUAH HAHAH! But we turned around and went to pick them up after that we went back to Sam's house and just chilled there for a while before I had to be home.

oh yeah I just remembered that Ben (the German) was there as well. He cracks me up!
